guitars & stars

Wednesday night, Ryan and I were able to attend the bi-annual (I think) "Guitars & Stars" show here in the Roch! I won tickets by calling in to WBEE (the big country station here) and I was so excited! I sounded like a loser on the radio, but that's beside the point. What I didn't realize until I went to the station to pick up the tickets was that I actually won VIP tickets! So we got VIP parking, dinner beforehand, tickets to the show, and VIP seats! We got little neck tags to wear, too, hee hee. It was so fun. I don't know how many readers that like country I have out there (because I have sooo many readers *insert a sarcastic face*), but I was/am pretty excited and I couldn't wait to share pics! I finally have a free minute to sit down and type! Anyway, the concert was so cool. They had all five artists stay on the stage the whole show, sitting on stools with their guitars. One artist would play and the rest would listen, and so on. Honestly though, I think Ryan's and my favorite part was actually seeing Newman in real life! The show featured Blake Shelton (the "host"), Jake Owen, James Otto, Phil Stacey, and Heidi Newfield. I got to meet Phil Stacey too, I liked him on American Idol.
Please don't mind my dumb face.
